BRUSSELS - A CREATIVE MARKETPLACE FOR THE FASHION INDUSTRY
The Brussels fashion scene is rigorously schooled and benefits from independent minds bringing in fresh influences to the mainstream. Belgium enjoys a long tradition in the textile industry, and has great technical expertise and heritage. Training for the fashion and design industries is strongly supported by a network of schools of international reputation for their non-conformist creativity and solid technical know-how.
The Belgian style is diverse and breaks away from traditional techniques. The Belgian touch is made up of freedom and absurdity, but also technical structure, sincerity and modesty.
